FAPE: Following the Rules vs. Providing Real Educational Benefit!


Following the IEP process is NOT enough if the education itself isn't appropriate!

Karen and her guest discuss two essential parts of FAPE under IDEA: procedural compliance and substantive educational requirements.

It's not just about whether the school district followed the rules. It's also about whether the IEP is designed to help the student make appropriate progress.

Both matter when protecting a child's right to FAPE!
